Document Summary
The filesystem hierarchy standard (fhs) defines a consistent file system for linux systems by defining a standard set of directories, subdirectories, and files. Fhs is a subset of the linux standards base (lsb) which is an organization and a set of guidelines for promoting a set of standards to increase linux distribution compatibility. The / character represents the root directory of the linux system. All other directories are located beneath the / (root directory) of the system. The /bin directory contains binary commands that are available to all users. The /boot directory contains the kernel and bootloader files. The /dev directory contains device files that represent the devices used by the system, such as a hard drive, mouse, and printer. The /etc directory contains configuration files specific to the system. The /home directory contains (by default) the user home directories. The /lib directory contains shared program libraries and kernel modules.
